Brattleboro man wins lifetime hunting fishing license

MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) — A Brattleboro resident has won a lifetime hunting and fishing license in Vermont’s annual lottery.

The Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department said this week that 34-year-old Kevin Condon was drawn as the winner.

More than 11,300 tickets were purchased last year.

Officials said Thursday that the ticket sales brought in more than $22,700 to the department. The department says the money can be leveraged with federal funds to produce more than $90,000 to support its mission to conserve fish, wildlife, plants and their habitats.
